Memory

TLC (triple-level cell) NAND flash has been making its way into industrial storage solutions for some years, thanks to its high storage density of three bits per cell. The ability to operate TLC in pseudo-single-level cell (pSLC) with one bit per cell, on the other hand, continues to carve out a niche existence.

Firmware attacks continue to grow exponentially around the world, with at least 80% of businesses experiencing one or more within the last year. Thorsten Stremlau, Co-chair of Trusted Computing Group's Marketing Work Group discusses the firmware security options on offer.
